Not true :-(.
For example, MySQL uses backticks (ugh) as the default delimiter for
identifiers. It will accept the standard double-quote character only if
the database server was started with the ANSI_Quotes flag. MS Access
uses square brackets as identifier delimiters, although I think it also
accepts double-quote.
